miR-4792 Inhibits Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cell Proliferation and Invasion and Promotes Cell Apoptosis by Targeting Kindlin-3

It has been reported that kindlin-3 expression is closely associated with progression of many cancers and microRNA (miRNA) processing. However, the effects and precise mechanisms of kindlin-3 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have not been well clarified. Our study aimed to explore the interaction bet...

Sumario:It has been reported that kindlin-3 expression is closely associated with progression of many cancers and microRNA (miRNA) processing. However, the effects and precise mechanisms of kindlin-3 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) have not been well clarified. Our study aimed to explore the interaction between kindlin-3 and miR-4792 in AML. In our study, we found that the expression of kindlin-3 was dramatically increased in AML samples and cell lines, and the miR-4792 level was significantly downregulated. Interestingly, the low miR-4792 level was closely associated with upregulated kindlin-3 expression in AML samples. Moreover, introduction of miR-4792 dramatically suppressed proliferation and invasion and induced apoptosis of AML cells. We demonstrated that miR-4792 could directly target kindlin-3 by using both bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assay. In addition, kindlin-3 silencing had similar effects with miR-4792 overexpression on AML cells. Overexpression of kindlin-3 in AML cells partially reversed the inhibitory effects of miR-4792 mimic. miR-4792 inhibited cell proliferation and invasion and induced apoptosis of AML cells by directly downregulating kindlin-3 expression, and miR-4792 targeting kindlin-3 was responsible for the regulation of the proliferation, invasion, and apoptosis of AML cells.
